On the race engines we run Moroso. Use the sets that you have to cut and we build them to suit the engine header combo.

I use MSD Super Conductors. Cut to fit of course.

Most ignition systems HATE solid core wires. MSD and Mallory both are specific to say warrantee void if you use a solid core wire.

For me Taylor wire kits or MSD wire kits are my 'go to' wires for most everything. I did buy one "Scott Performance" wire kit some 8 years ago and am still using them with the MSD Digital 7 (7530T box) I got a smoking deal on a hand built custom wire kit installed from a guy that was wanting to start an outlet doing nothing but ignitions. Beautiful work, EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY wires and accessories (seperators, looms fireboots etc) ,, but $ was more than most would consider 'reasonable' .

well if GAS says he has had no problems with the MSD wires I should look into those. Marv.. guess I'm lost in the 70,s by using the solid core. back then if it was not solid core it was junk I need to get caught up to the late 80,s lol

I run the Taylor sleeved Thundervolt race wires with heat boots on the ends.

I run Taylor cut to fits on pretty much everything. Stick with Taylor, Moroso or MSD and you should be in good shape. I only use cut to fit wires. Ignition wires that look like a rats nest drive me nuts.

I do have to admit that I have used Taylor wires before and like them just as well as the MSD's.

I started using MSD wires when I started using MSD's digital ignition systems.
